The Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG "Gran Selezione" by Antinori comes, exclusively, from a selection of the best estate grapes and is a red that represents one of the excellence of the production. Matured in wood, it is a wine of peculiar intensity, complex and beautifully balanced.
Tasting Notes: Ruby color with garnet highlights. The nose is expressed with hints of plums and blackberries, notes of violets and tones of licorice. The palate is warm, enveloping, sumptuously soft with velvety tannins. Long lingering.
Pairings: Ideal paired with meaty entrées and red meats, try it with stuffed roast in a crust.
